" You dumb woman" he scolded and pulled the blanket off my body and I gasped." When is your due date?" He asked and unbuttoned his sleeves before rolling them up." August 15th" I answered and winced in pain.Beads of sweat formed on my face as the contraction became intense. I placed my hand on my round belly and rubbed it. I felt my baby move inside me and I stretched my right leg." Today's July 15th. " He mumbled and in the next minute, I was in his arms and my heart leaped into my mouth. Damn! Alpha ICE carried me." Don't move" he said, his voice sounding like a command and I pressed my lips together." I'm taking you to the hospital" he added and I just muttered "Umm"He placed me in the passenger seat of the car and fastened my seatbelt. His fingers grazed my breasts and I gasped at the effect it made on my body.I widened my legs and winced in pain. Goodness, the contraction is so painful." Open your mouth and breathe," he said and turned on the ignition. I did as he said a
LOUIS'S POVI led my goons into Skylar's pack.Houses were set ablaze. Cries and screams erupted everywhere.I've never declared war on another pack before ever since I was crowned an alpha.Austin went too far this time around. He touched my bottom line by kidnapping my heavily pregnant mate. I've told him to keep Nora and our unborn child out of our conflicts. Whatever that happens to his mate has nothing to do with me. He wanted to throw a dagger at me but his made whom I don't even recognize ran into it and it pierced her heart.Only a bastard like Austin will blame me for the death of his mate. It has nothing to do with Nora and our baby.Bones cracks as we shift into our wolf form. I stood tall as Nick took over my body. He was a giant black wolf." Awu!!!" A loud howl left my mouth. It was the howl of war. The wolves of Skylar's pack rushed forward in their wolf form." Attack!" I growled and my wolves leaped towards the brown wolves." Jace come with me," I told Jace who was
I got to where Davis was and there she was, pale in her teal dress. Her body was cold to the touch but her body was intact." I don't think she is dead. The doctors and Ariel can do something about it" Sonya said from the pilot seat. She had flown the helicopter over after I retrieved Nora from Davis.Her stomach was flat and my heart broke into pieces. I know we can make another baby but I've grown to love our unborn baby so much." Forget about the child. You can always make another one. You should be worried about how to bring her back" Davis said by my side and I nod my head. We arrived at Lake and I took Nora to the Packhouse emergency room where the doctors were waiting.I placed her on the bed and the doctors hovered around her to examine her while I stood by the side with my hands folded on my chest." We will run some tests and Computerized Axial Tomography Scan on her." One of the doctors said and I nodded. At this point, my head was throbbing but I held myself together. I
LOUIS'S POVThe doctors said she still has a chance of surviving if we can find matching organs for her. At this juncture, I'm willing to go to any length to get the organs she needed. I have summoned beta Luke, Nora's father. He should be here anytime soon." Beta," I spoke out immediately he walked into my study room. I stretched my hand forward and gestured to him to take a sit." How is Nora?" He asked immediately after he took his seat. I rubbed my hands together nervously and exhaled. Judging from the look in his eyes, I know he already knew what happened to her. He just wants to hear it from the horse's mouth." We discovered Nora went missing late yesterday. We checked the packhouse and other places but we couldn't find her so we were left with only one option. Skylar. We went there, attacked, and rescued Nora. Sadly, her pregnancy was gone and she is in coma." I narrated. I know very well that all that I said doesn't make sense but I needed to buy time to prepare myself for w
I held my breath and held Aurora tightly to myself. So she is the Elena Diana was talking about. I see why Diana doesn't like her." You have the guts to open your legs for him and bear him a child. " She said with gritted teeth, her eyes piercing into mine and I held her gaze." Elena," we heard Christian growled and she quickly dropped her hand. I released the breath I'd been holding and my heart beat against Aurora in my arms." What do you think you're doing?" Christian demanded, his face clouded with fury." I'm just talking some sense into this woman here." She answered and pointed her long index finger at me." What sense?" Christian questioned and shifted his attention to me.I rock Aurora in my hands and walked past them as fast as my legs could take me.I don't know where she got the idea of Aurora being Christian's child.The ogling servants must have given her such untrue information and being the insecure woman she is, she believed them. I entered our room and locked the
" Louis," Ariel's chilling voice called and my attention was brought back to her. " She's awake." She said and everyone gasped." She's awake?" I couldn't hide the excitement in my voice." All her surgical scars are gone and she's awake." She answered and I couldn't believe my ears. I jumped up and threw my hands in the air. I crouched to the floor and let my tears flow. Nora is fucking awake. Thanks to Ariel and the moon goddess. " I will deal with Austin time." She said and disappeared into thin air. I rose up and rushed into the room where Nora was kept.She was standing in the middle of the room, her back turned towards me. Her hair fall loosely on her back and her white floral gown hung down to her knees. She was skinny and her skin was a bit pale. Her hands dropped by her side.I wrapped my arms around her and she stiffened in my arms. Her hair smelled of cinnamon and she looked fragile and frayed in my arms. My wolf purred and I couldn't help the sigh that left my mouth. She
I watched as Aurora sleeps peacefully in her crib. I wondered what Louis might be doing. Did he look for me? Is he looking for me?No, I'm not sure. If he was, he would have found me. He doesn't care about me nor our child and it's high time o learn to let him go. Time to erase every memory of him. He had brought me nothing but pain and shame. Making me question my existence and everything around me. He was a demon who ruined my life. I thought my life here in this pack will be peaceful but immediately Elena appeared, everything changed. My peace vanished into thin air. Her accusations were suffocating with each passing day and despite Christian trying to make me feel better it still doesn't work. I don't know if I should leave or stay and continue suffering these emotional traumas. " Nora," I turned back at the door and saw Diana peeping her head into my room through the door. " Diana," I called in a hushed voice and beckoned on her to come in. She was in her red pajamas and she
" Miss Clarissa, Alpha Christian demands to see you," The maid who had delivered my meal earlier announced." Tell him that I'll be with him shortly," I told the maid and she nodded before exiting the room. I fed Aurora her baby formula and placed her gently in her crib.She chuckled and grinned at me. Her toothless smile was priceless."I'll be back baby, in just five minutes," I told her with a smile plastered on my face. She giggled and I chuckled at her." Be a good girl before Mama comes back," I told her before walking out of the room.I closed the door behind me gently and made my way to Alpha Christian's study. My heart pounded against my chest as a lot of thoughts ran through my mind. It was obvious that I was nervous. Why would Christian summon me?I halt before the brownish door of the study and took in a sharp breath. I exhaled but it still doesn't calm down my racing heart. The door cracked open and I flinched, I raised my head up and my eyes met Christian's eyes. His fa
I felt nostalgic as we flew in the sky. So many emotions surged through me and for the first time, I don't know exactly how to feel. Sitting beside, Louis, Christian and that bitch Nisha. I felt like I was in a tight corner and going back home after several months, I couldn't help but feel scared. Even as much as I want Louis to touch me, I couldn't let him because a part of me still detest him. The memory of him cheating on me is still fresh. Silence loomed over us as we flew down to lake. As we alight, I held Aurora tightly in my arms. I left with pregnancy and came back with a baby. I wonder what awaits me. Alpha Rusev, my father and especially Sonya. I wonder if I'm going to live in the same room or I'll be given a chance to make my decisions. Immediately we walked into the packhouse, a gush of wind came and Louis leaned over to protect me and Aurora. After the dust dissipated, I opened my eyes and saw a woman in red cloak standing before us. Someone that I recognized to
He fell to the ground and my hand trembled. The gun fell from my hand and red liquid flowed in my direction.I just shot someone. I took a man down!My body trembled and I held Aurora tightly in my arms. Her cries were echoing all over the room but it was the last thing I could hear.The resounding of the gun and the thumping of my heart against my chest was enough to make someone deaf.I moved my feet slowly and tiptoed to where he laid in the pool of blood on the floor.If the cops get here, will I be accused of murderer? Will I go to prison and leave my daughter behind? I heard the footsteps getting closer and i quickened my footsteps. I halt when a groan came from Austin.Gosh! My heart stopped beating for a minute. He is not dead!" You fucking shot me." He groaned as he struggled to sit up.what will happen now? I couldn't help but ask myself silently with my heart in my throat.what will happen if Austin successfully sit up? will I still be able to escape.somehow, I felt sca
N O R AI kept pacing back and forth in the room, waiting for Austin to return with my daughter. I expected the cops to be here early since I called them about an hour ago.Now, I don't want them to come early, I want to have Aurora with me first. I don't want to leave her behind.I turned to the direction of the door, as every sound I hear sounds like footsteps.My belly churned but I have no appetite for food. I just want to get out of this place with my daughter alive. After, we can leave far away and start a new life. I heard the sound of key being inserted into the keyhole and my heart raced in my chest. Is that Austin? Does he have Aurora with him?I couldn't help but feel anxious and scared at the same time. I held my breath as the knob twist slowly. I placed my palms over my mouth as the door gets pushed open and Austin walked in with a toy, no, a baby wrapped in grey blanket wrapped in his arms. I stood there and watched in awe. Unable to move or utter any words. Is that
~~~~ LAKE PACK~~~~LOUIS'S POVAfter having a long conversation with Alpha ICE, I walked him out of my study and down the stairs. Silence loomed over us as we both had different thoughts in our minds.Mine is to find Nora as soon as possible with this photo. I don't know what's on ICE's mind. He is too secretive and cold for my liking.We took the last stair and approached the entrance door which also serves as the exit door.The guards opened it and we walked out. The sun has risen from its horizon and I believe it will be noon any time soon.His phone rang, thereby, breaking the silence between us. He quickly picked and placed it on his ear." Hello, Jason," he said and I stood by the side and excused him to answer his phone call but deep down I was eavesdropping." What?" He exclaimed and I became more curious to know why he exclaimed." How is that possible?" He asked again." Send me the address and we will be there immediately." He said and hung up. He turned to face me and I ar
N O R A " Austin?" The words left my mouth. I couldn't believe my eyes. Austin, standing right before me? Gosh! This is unbelievable. It hits me hard. The man in the SUV that left the club some nights ago and the sickling feeling. Austin has been stalking me all along.If Austin has been stalking me then he is up to nothing good. His fight with Louis is all over the media. He wants me for something and I won't let that happen. He's too dangerous." Nora," he called and I couldn't tell if he was surprised to see the gun in my hand or scared." Oh my goodness!" I screamed and threw the gun on the floor. I covered my mouth with my palms and whimpered into it.I ran forward wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly. He stiffened for a while and then his strong arms wrapped around my waist slowly." Where have you been? Why didn't you come for me earlier? " I asked why sobbing and I heard him gulp.I pulled back and wiped the tears on my face with the back of my hands. I stared d
Louis stretched his hand forward and picked the photo up. He looked at the face of the smiling woman in it and his eyes trailed down to the baby, wrapped in pink wrapper in her arms. He raised his head and looked at alpha ice with his mouth agape." This is Nora," the words left his mouth, barely as a whisper and alpha ice stroked his chin." Yes, her name is Nora," ICE and stood up from his seat in preparation to leave." Where did you get this from? " Louis asked curiously while holding the photo tightly in his hand." My daughter took it." He answered casually with a shrug and Louis squint his eyes at him." Does that mean, that your daughter know where Nora and my child is? " Louis couldn't help but ask.If alpha ICE daughter took the photo, then she has probably met Nora and even be friends with her." No. She doesn't." ICE answered sincerely and Louis frowned." But she took this photo" he argued. He believes ice daughter knew where his wife and mate is." She took it when she
The last thing nora heard was rest in pieces" accompanied by the deafening sound of a gun. Her eyes opened slowly but her eyelids were too heavy for her. Regardless, she forced them opened and looked around the smoky room.Her lips trembled as she couldn't neither Nisha or her daughter around. Then, she remembered the piercing cry of a child and a warm tear slipped down her face. " Aurora," the word left her mouth, barely as a whisper." Aurora!" She screamed, her voice echoing through the room." I will hunt you Nisha!" She screamed to the extent that her vocal cords started hurting." Aurora," she mumbled, her heart contracting so bad in her chest. The thing she feared most has happened to her.She closed her eyes and leaned back on the chair. She kept numbering incoherent words until she felt the presence of someone hovering her.Her chair was pushed up, before she could open her eyes and she felt a sense of freedom on her wrist as the ropes fall to the ground. " You're safe. Do
Nora bite on her lip and fought back the tears in her eyes. There was no way she was going to let this woman make her cry. She really don't know why it hurts so much. She has promised herself not to go back to Louis ever again but another woman appearing and asking her to stay away stirs the emotions in her. The emotion she has locked away in a secret chamber of her heart." I'm already out of his life." She said and Nisha exhaled." No, you're not." Nisha said with gritted teeth and stood from her chair." He still wants you back. He is on the look for you." She gritted with her teeth clashing against each other and the tears streamed down Nora's face." Louis want me back?" She asked, barely as a whisper and Nisha shot a glare at her. The one that could kill if only glare can kill " But I won't let that happen because he is mine now." Nisha spat with blazing eyes and Nora gulped. She couldn't help but wonder what Nisha plan to do with her because she looks bitter." Give me my daug
" Where's my daughter?" The words left my mouth, barely as a whisper and the woman just stood there gazing at me." She is fine." That sounds like my voice. This is weird.Why do I have a woman who looks exactly like me standing before me?" I want to see my child." I said in disdain and she snapped her hands. I heard footsteps coming in our direction and I watch her stretch her hands forward and the next thing I saw made my hand inch and my heart race." Aurora," tears streamed down my voice as the woman held Aurora in her arms like she is her child. At this juncture, I don't care to know who she is. I just want to make sure that my daughter is alright.All through my existence, I've always known one person that looks like me and that is my reflection on the mirror. " Your daughter is so cute," she smile sweetly at aura who giggled at her but I don't find it sweet at all.That giggle gave me the assurance that my child wasn't hurt but still, I want to take her away from that woman
